Block cut and paste not working....
-
For some reason block cut and pastes are no longer working.
I can do the block cut OK, but the paste does a regular paste not a block paste.
- do <shift><alt> move cursor to select a block of text
- do <ctrl>c to copy the block
- move to middle of some text preparing for paste
- Do <ctrl>v to paste, text just gets inserted.
Before:
ext_v_trig_time digin_line_time pulseline_time pulseline_count usr_rst_time available_pad1 available_pad2
After:
ext_v_trig_time ext_v_trig_time digin_line_time pulseline_time pulseline_count usr_rst_time available_pad1 available_pad2 digin_line_time pulseline_time pulseline_count usr_rst_time available_pad1 available_pad2
What it should be:
ext_v_trig_time ext_v_trig_time digin_line_time digin_line_time pulseline_time pulseline_time pulseline_count pulseline_count usr_rst_time usr_rst_time available_pad1 available_pad1 available_pad2 available_pad2

It works for me.
What version are you using? (In the ? menu, select Debug Info, and copy/paste into your reply).
Mine is:
Notepad++ v7.8.5 (64-bit) Build time : Mar 3 2020 - 17:39:56 Path : C:\usr\local\apps\notepad++\notepad++.exe Admin mode : OFF Local Conf mode : ON OS Name : Windows 10 Enterprise (64-bit) OS Version : 1903 OS Build : 18362.720 Plugins : ComparePlugin.dll LuaScript.dll MarkdownViewerPlusPlus.dll mimeTools.dll NppConsole.dll NppConverter.dll NppEditorConfig.dll NppExec.dll NppExport.dll NppFTP.dll PreviewHTML.dll PythonScript.dll QuickText.dll XMLTools.dll

Notepad++ v7.8.5 (64-bit)
Build time : Mar 4 2020 - 11:08:34
Path : C:\Program Files\Notepad++\notepad++.exe
Admin mode : OFF

OS Name : Windows 10 Pro (64-bit)

I’ve noticed the <ctrl>v does not work in some applications.
It’s an older laptop that was all that was left in IT.
Thankyou SO MUCH for your help. It’s wonderful to have such quick replies. -

Ctrl
key instead of the left.Also, SHIFT+INS is a secondary key sequence for paste, and it works with the column-paste as well, so you might see if that works more reliably for you.

FOUND THE PROBLEM!
I had installed a utility called ClipboardFusion. ([https://www.clipboardfusion.com](link url)/)
This utility was modifying the text.
Uninstalled the utility - everything works again!
